Lenovo Tab 2 A710 review and specifications

The Lenovo Tab 2 A710 is a decent budget tablet with many features that a user would look for in such a gadget although it misses out on some fronts as it does not support calling and the user interface feels a bit lack lustre at times. It is the latest entrant in the 7 inches sized tablet category and a good budget solution for those without the affinity for calling solutions on their tablets.

Design:

The tablet is available in Ebony black colour only and has a good metallic back finish and the overall design feels sturdy and good in hand.

 Tab 2 A710 processor and performance:

The tablet comes with a 1.3 Ghz Quad core MediaTek MT8382m processor with 1 GB of primary memory i.e. RAM. This makes for a good performing device which can run the latest games with ease and with decent fps. More details can be seen in our very own review video which is present below, just scroll down a little bit down.

Lenovo Tab 2 A710 display and resolution:

The tablet comes with a 7 inch IPS LCD display solution and sports a resolution of 1024×600 pixels, this makes for an overall great experience in terms of display. Though the resolution could have been better. It has a 170 ppi display and this makes for an average display density on the device, nothing much fancy here. But the overall display quality is good enough to watch movies and play games on it.

Lenovo Tab 2 A710 storage:

This device is currently available in an 8 gb variant and has support for external storage. This device supports expandable storage up to 32 GB using micro SD card. The Tab 2 A710 thus stands on a middle ground when it comes to the matter of storage.

Battery performance for the Tab 2 A710:

The tablet has a 3450 mAh battery which gives around a day of battery life with moderate gaming and moderate web surfing when the display is set on full brightness mode. But when the display is set to moderate brightness settings and people use the device on a moderate basis then it would last for some more time.

Sound output for the Tab 2 A710F:

Dolby Audio support is present in this tablet, which makes for a better and deeper audio experience and you can also hear this in our video review. The overall sound output is ok and you might like it when you are in a quite environment. In a noisy environment the sound output is audible but you might not consider that to be a usage scenario as most of the times you will use your tablet for normal purposes only.

Lenovo Tab 2 A710 software:

The tablet comes with Android 4.4 Kitkat, though it can easily get an upgrade to Android Lollipop but is is really unlikely that the manufacturers would pay so much attention to detail. Though the upgrade has been promised, it is still to be seen when the update would actually roll out to the users. OTA update to users is being expected by spring 2015, and we have to wait and watch whether Lenovo will deliver on this promise or not.

Camera on the device:

The device sports only a front camera with VGA resolution. This makes it so so for video calling purposes but it doesn’t have a primary back camera for taking photographs and other purposes.

Price and other factors to consider while buying:

The price of this device is INR 4,999 only and is available exclusively on Snapdeal. It is a basic Android based tablet so it’s a good buy for first time tablet users who don’t want to spend too much on their first Android tablet. The tablet also comes with various accessories like flip covers etc. which are readily available for the product.
